5 - 4
[ NHL.com RECAP ]
What separates Evgeni Malkin from you?
He shut 21,000 people up in five seconds. You can't even get your dog to stop barking.
Some day, when we look back, we'll talk about the night they mocked his name in the Bell Centre, and how he came out of the box a man on fire.
It looked like another jobber game for the Penguins.
Another 4-1, 4-2 victory seemed to be in the cards.
But then the Habs woke up.
They scored three goals pretty quick, and it wasn't good.
We were soon captivated by one of the top three most-entertaining games of the season.
And it's good having the best player in the NHL on your team in that type of game.
And Crosby, too, when he comes back.
-- Kaitlin C. --
-- Lana Maloney --
Three cheers for Lana, who sacrificed her last happy-hour drink in order to dominate traffic to get to the game in time for the anthems.
Sabu was getting the start.
If you wanted to turn someone on to the game of hockey, show them the first 10 minutes of this game.
Easily the best skating of the season as both teams came out flying.
Jesse James made an appearance as he flew down the wing for the Pens. He got it in front to JFK, but no dice.
How fast was the JFK-Taffe-James line tonight? Unreal.
The Habs came right back though, as Smoke got a 2-on-1 chance.
Sabu says no dice, and the entire Montreal team rushes the net.
You already know what type of game this is going to be.
The teams would trade chances back and forth for the next 10 minutes.
It was highlighted by the Habs running a blog in the Pens zone.
But Brook Orpik destroyed Michael Ryder's life about eight times, and the Sabu stood tall.
Chemistry 101
The Canadians storm back, but Gonchar makes maybe the best defensive play of his Penguin career and takes the dude off the puck.
Of course the crowd goes nuts and wants a penalty. Learn the rules.
The crowd is further enraged when Jordan Staal gets taken down by that dude who got arrested last week.
Easy call.
The Montreal player tripped Staal.
The crowd goes insane.
Honestly, know the rules.
What a battle.
Things looked like they would go quietly into the second, but JFK stormed into the Habs zone. Pens get a bounce.
Huge goal.
Bad news.
Montreal brought the pain early, but still good action.
Clean fight, but Lapierre refuses to let it end, and gets 10 more minutes. Idiot.
Things just seemed to be going to well. And Montreal is fast as balls.
Sergei Tits is a beast. He beats Sydor to a loose puck.
Puck goes to Saku Jokiu.
Big goal for the Habs.
It got the crowd going. But then again, so do little boys.
But just before they were about to score again, someone high sticks someone.
Powerplay for the Penguins. And it was all business.
Malkin made a nice dish to Malone. Malone to Sykora.
Sykora tried the Whitney Play ™ but it got stopped.
However, Ryan Malone was there to bang it home.
Ryan Malone. Wow.
Things look to be cruising along. But that doesn't last long.
The refs need to call penalties so the Canadien crowd can stop whining.
Montreal's powerplay is intense.
Kovalev makes a pass we don't even need to talk about.
Guy Homobeau looks like he wants to fight someone.
If you forgot why you hate the Habs, now you remember.
We wait about 18 minutes for the third period to commence.
Michael Ryder swings around the net, comes out, shoots. 3-3.
The fairweather crowd comes alive on the tying goal.
Soon after, the Pens were heading to the box.
It had all the makings of a disaster.
Montreal set up the PP, but no dice.
So they decide to score on the rush.
Koivu gets into the zone, gets it over to Hamrlik.
One of the most deflating goals of the year. 4-3.
And with the crowd chanting, you started realizing the refs were gonna be afraid of this Montreal crowd.
Malkin gets tripped up, but no call. He gets Komisarek in the face. Penalty.
The crowd starting chanting....
These are the same people who chased the best goaltender of all-time out of town.
On the ensuing power play, Staal gets accosted, but somehow there was no penalty called.
Michael Ryder leaves Daryl Sydor writhing in pain on the ice after a check.
You want to talk classless?
Who chants while a guy is lying on the ice, injured?
The Bell Centre probably would have played Celebrate Good Times if the Zednik incident happened up there.
Komisarek was trying to wipe his butt, letting Malkin get past him with ease to receive the Malone pass on a quick little breakaway.
Komisarek =Stunned
Eat it.
By that time, the Montreal fans knew the Habs were out of control.
It was reaffirmed when they take a stupid penalty, feeding the Pens momentum.
About 8 seconds later, Malkin captains the power play.
It gets to the point.
Gonchar from way downtown. 5-4.
What a way to get your 600th point for Gonch.
What followed was some great hockey, with the Habs missing a wide-open net.
If you are able to, give yourself an honest answer to this question:
Which Penguin goalie would make you feel most comfortable headed down the stretch of a one-goal game in the third period?
The Habs ruin thir chances of a comeback with another stupid penalty.
Hamrlik leaves his feet and throws the elbow into Armstrong's face.
The Pens couldn't bang it home, setting up an insane final 5 minutes.
The Pens get it deep and start running out the clock.
Out of nowhere, there was 1:20 left.
It was time to pull Huet.
After a scary icing call, the Habs had to regroup.
And there was ...
NOOOOOOOOOOOO doubt about it.
- Malkin: 1 G, 2 A
- Malone: 1 G, 1 A
- Whitney: 1 G, 2 A
- Gonch: 600th point
- Syko: 2 A
- Sabu: 17 saves on 21 shots. Pens win the shot total: 30-21
- Montreal is a solid hockey team, no question about it.
- Rooooooooooo2
- It's been real, Dany Sabs. Thanks for that win in Vancouver.
- Solid defense from Letang.
- Huge weekend ahead.

The Malkamania references are awesome. The blog header rules. This game was really exciting to watch. Today was horrible for me and when I got home and heard about Sabu starting, I basically wrote the game off. Luckily he didn't lose it for us. I thought he did at one point. Oh well, back to the Conk-MAF battle.
Great win. Much needed. Tied our series with them. Awesome.

Great game from front to back. I was really impressed with the Pens. That's a tough place to play. They shrugged off a very good team and an obnoxious crowd to win a big game. They're all big now.
Is it safe to say that the only difference between Philthy ass hats and the Montreal ass hats is that in Montreal, they speak French?

Friday, March 7th.
Since C-town is only a little over a 2 hour drive (as opposed to the 5 hours to Scranton) yinz should come up and see the game.

Agreed Fleury, the t-shirts better be coming. It's just amazing the amount of talent that has come through Pittsburgh. This will be like our 50th Art Ross Trophy in the past 25 years. To put that in perspective, the Leafs haven't had an Art Ross Winner since 1938!

That photoshop of Malkin's Mario switch changed my life forever haha
great job as usual
that game was a huge deal
Think about this:
The Pens finish first in the league...
-Beat whatever jobber team is in 8th decidedly
-Beat Montreal in the 2nd round (assuming they have some drop off in the standings)
-Beat Ottawa in the Conference finals
-Beat the Sharks for the Stanley Cup
I'm just saying

I usually don't job the fans of other teams (aside from the Sabres), but wow. I understand being a passionate fan, but singing that stupid Ole song while there is an injured player on the ice is pathetic. That song is also pathetic in general, but whatever. I've seen some pretty classless stuff from random Pens fans, but I can't imagine that ever happening at Mellon Arena.
Malkin coming out of the penalty box and scoring immediately after they chanted his name was a life-changing moment. I haven't stopped smiling about it. - 2/22/2008 9:08 AM

The pace of that game was unreal. Both teams left it all on the ice. Does Sid bury that breakaway? Not saying Sid isn't the best player on the planet, but...

- Stoosh said...
You'd think with all those resources, the Leafs could at least afford to have bought ONE over the last seventy years.
I really think this is a big reason why so many fans of other NHL teams hate the Pens. For basically the last 25 years, we've always seemed to feature at least one if not two of the most dominant players in the game. We've been blessed in that regard, and probably even a little lucky.
But this makes the conspiracy theories that the NHL is always looking out for Pittsburgh even more ridiculous. Sure, Mario was going to be great. But did the NHL really put guns to the heads of the four teams that took Jagr before he fell to us at #5 in the 1990 draft? Nedved was supposed to be the world-class superstar of that draft, not Jagr.
Could anyone have envisioned Malkin being THIS good? I know there were many who felt Malkin would be a more complete player than Ovechkin. And when he was drafted, a lot of comparisons I've heard said Malkin at his peak MIGHT be about as good as Lecavalier or maybe Thornton (although he was more physical than Thornton). I didn't expect THIS kind of dominance from Geno this early on.
And I know all the theories about the NHL rigging the Crosby lottery. Whatever. Four teams - one of which was the RANGER$$$ - had the best chances of winning the lottery. If the NHL really wanted to rig things, why didn't he end up in New York?
Like you said, when you look back at the last 25 years and you realize the talent we've had here, it's a pretty nice thing to look at. - 2/22/2008 9:19 AM

Anon @ 10:58 = HILARIOUS!!
I still can't find exactly what the 2 misconduct and the 1 unsportsmanlike penalties (out of the 10 Flyers penalties) in last night's game versus the Sharks were about???
From the Flyers - Sharks Recap:
"The Philly faithful have had enough and the Flyers were booed almost the entire game, especially when they were outhustled to the puck."
"A big screen ad for a Briere promotion brought some of the loudest boos. Briere has been a disappointment in his first season in Philadelphia and entered with a disastrous rating of minus-22, easily the worst on the Flyers." - 2/22/2008 11:52 AM
- Pensgirl said...
Stupordave, I actually do think Sid buries that particular breakaway, but I also think your implication that he doesn't have that "Mario switch" is right.
Sid seems more emotional, instinctual - almost animalistic. What's that commercial he's in where he says he forgets his name out there? I have no trouble believing that. Geno, by contrast, seems far more calculating and controlled, which is definitely how Mario was. He does seem to have a switch.
The advantage to a Sid is that he puts the same amount of energy into every shift, so something can happen at any time. The disadvantage is that winging it doesn't always work.
The advantage to a Geno is that his decision to dominate cannot be overridden. The disadvantage is that he has to consciously make the decision, flip the switch.
We're damn lucky to have both types of player, especially since they're both still young enough to learn from each other and adopt pieces of the other guy's game. Now there's a prospect that's terrifying to the rest of the league. - 2/22/2008 11:52 AM
- StuporDave said...
@Pensgirl... I definitely agree. Not trying to bash Sid, I do have a favorite and it is Sid. Both are absolute maniacs and it now appears the two best players in the world are on the same team. Hard to do in the salary cap era and will be hard to keep...
- Anonymous said...
Any thoughtful explanations of why Sabu was in net last night?????
I mean 17 saves on 21 shots? What happens in a game where THE Conk faces 30+ and that's Sabu instead of Conk?
Is the final score 10 to 5 Habs??
Just wondering if anyone heard a reason why the stupid move? - 2/22/2008 12:23 PM

I don't really think Sabu played that badly last night.
In my opinion there was probably only one goal that I think Conk might've (?) stopped that Sabu didn't.
The Habs are a GOOD hockey club with an outstanding PP...they're gonna get pucks behind your goalie no doubt. - 2/22/2008 12:54 PM
- seeker said...
He's S-L-O-W first of all. Then he got out-positioned (veteran dman?) on that one Habs dump-in which allowed a pass leading directly to a goal.
I actually think Nasreddine would play better. - 2/22/2008 1:00 PM
- Dr. Turkleton said...
I noticed that as well...it seems as if Syd-Orr has lost .5 step, esp. going back to the corner for a puck....would trade Crusher for Ole-Kristen Tollefsson if C-Bus would be willing...

PENSGIRL - Absolutely incredible take on the Sid-Malkin differences.
I've heard Sid described in many ways, but if I had to sum him up quickly, I think these are fairly accurate:
1. He's the most skilled checking center of the NHL's modern era (contrary to what his detractors say, he plays a highly-physical game...he's most physical skilled center I've seen since Forsberg), and...
2. He's the first player who has tailored his game to play in the more limited space that the current game provides its players. The NHL game now is faster than it's ever been, and it employs players who are bigger than they've typically ever been. So you have less physical space out there and you're expected to beat players who are quicker than ever getting to open space.
You described Geno to a tee. He's much stronger than he looks, he's almost impossible to knock off the puck and he's got a terrific mean streak that he breaks out when he needs to (much the same way Mario used to do as well). The mean streak is something we weren't sure he had, at least not unless you saw him in the '06 Olympics, when he was one of the three or four best all-around forwards for Russia.
Seeing him take his game to an other-worldly level has been a real treat the last several weeks. This is what it must have been like watching Lemieux in his prime, when he was good for two points every single night. I haven't seen this kind of dominance in the NHL in a long time...where one player was just so capable of taking over a game.
I thought he was capable of carrying this team in Sid's absence. I didn't expect him to elevate his entire game AND the games of so many around him. - 2/22/2008 1:18 PM
- Nathan said...
In reading some of the Flyers fans' rants about John Stevens, I know that if Lou Lamoriello was running that team, Stevens would've been fired about 5 games into their current losing streak. I just have to wonder if the same thing happens to Pittsburgh sometime in the next couple of years, will King Shero fire the head coach (be it Therrien or somebody else), or will he sit back and let the team collapse like Paul Holmgren's doing right now in Philadelphia?
For the record, the Pens' longest losing streak this season was four games, November 7-12, in the middle of that horrible stretch where they lost 10 of 13, 8 of those losses being in regulation. That stretch ended with the shootout win over Ottawa on Thanksgiving (henceforth the "pumpkin pie in the face" game). The Pens haven't lost more than two straight since. I wonder how close Shero came to giving Therrien the axe in November, though. Although sometimes the mere threat of firing the coach is enough to get the team going again -- it worked for Ottawa last season when they got off to that shit-poor start, and the ownership accompanied the team on a road trip; the Sens won that night and never looked back en route to the Cup Finals.
Unfortunately, there's still time for the Flyers to turn their season around, but it'll probably have to happen with someone else behind the bench. - 2/22/2008 1:23 PM
- Pensgirl said...
Stoosh, thanks. You're right too - Sid's physical game is underappreciated, and he uses (and creates) space like nobody else before him.
My favorite way of describing him is "living electron." He's the most frenetic player I've ever seen.
And Geno. The question is just starting to form in the back of people's minds: will Malkin be our chance to see what a healthy Mario would have been like? - 2/22/2008 2:07 PM

Sydor has followed two solid months of hockey, after his terrible start, with a week of more really bad hockey.
Pensgirl: great analysis.
I definitely have a man-crush on Geno right now. I ran out of superlatives for him a couple weeks ago. (Sorry, Charlie, i only have eyes for Geno.)

Dukes of Russia is classic.
Why is it for every point Whitney has, he forgets to play defense in front of the net. Not saying all the goals are/were completely his fault b/c very rarely can you blame a goal on a single player (even the goalie), but still, he was in his office in the front of the net eating a jelly donut for 3 of the Habs goals.
all we can hope for 2morrow is a Thanksgiving Day-esque performance. - 2/22/2008 3:40 PM

Wow, you guys have another amazing post, wow! Photoshop = gold!
I was so ticked at Montreal fans last night. Poor Sydor ... I'm glad he's okay.
We should all bow down to Malkin ... we are obviously not worthy!!
Malone is rocking my world. From the first time I saw him play, I knew he would be fantastic! What is the stat ... 18 pts in last 14 games! Good job, sweetie!
Anyone else really happy with Gonch right now? He has been playing so-so but last night's game ... wow! Congrats on 600, Sarge!
I love Malkin with all my heart but I miss Sid and Roberts. Bring my boys back home!
If Kovy touched Malkin one more time, I swear that I was going to drive up to Canada and beat him up. I appreciate how well you played in Pittsburgh, dude, but save it because losing Malkin means you lose your life.
(Is it odd everytime I looked at Kovy that I had flashbacks of past games and remembered how much kaspar rocked my world? We need a Kaspar.) - 2/22/2008 4:08 PM

Malkin-g. Don't take the way I worded that one part as I think Geno isn't great ... my opinion is far from that. - 2/22/2008 5:10 PM

Turk Turkleton, I think that reference is waay to obscure. So she has a lot of enthusiasm for her favorite hockey team. Don't knock the girl for that.
Re: your 1:18 post stoosh, I just read an article a few weeks ago that said with the new style of play in the NHL, teams are looking more and more for the skill players that are of a smaller stature. Players under 6 feet and in the 170-190 pound range seem to be more prevalent. I only gave a cursory look at the 2007 draft results, too lazy to find the mode and median and mean and whatever other statistics there are.
Nathan, I totally blocked out that losing streak (we lost 10 of 13? Really?!?) But now that u mention it I remember those were dark times around here at tPB. I think the highlight of my weekend will be the game tomorrow. I love this game. - 2/22/2008 6:26 PM

Malkin is just unreal and Malone has been money lately as well. That was his second tape-to-tape pass to spring the player coming from the box on a breakaway in the last few games. If I'm not mistaken he sprung Ruutu loose for his goal against Buffalo. Anyways awesome game and awesome night. Extended points lead for Geno, Philthy out of the top 8, things getting tighter at the top of the conference, and 600 for Gonch. Awesome. I love how electric the crowd is at Montreal games. Just unreal.
- wilsmith said...
Why can't the Igloo be as loud as the Fo-- Centre Bell?
My one knock against pro sports has always been that the fans are pretty lame. Silent, uneducated, whatever. It's part of the reason I've never been compelled to get to a Steeler game. I've been to so many college football games that Steeler crowds just look boring.
Montreal fans are just ridiculous. All that noise, they never shut up. I mentioned this a while ago, but why can't we have constant noise and organized chants -- more than the "Lets go Pens".
There should be a handbook, what to yell at what times. The sieve chant after goals, "where's your backup?" when a goalie has a rough night, "where is [superstar]?" when someone's not playing up to snuff. No wave when the Pens are on the power play, but constant shouting, like when a football team is on offense, when the opponent is on theirs.
And do you think John Barabaro would go along with "How...Much...Time...Is....Left?
Ideally, no one would sit down either.
Anyone got some good chants? I know mine are pretty generic and widely used, but with the collective minds here, we gotta come up with something good. I think we talked about this before and someone had that video of the soccer team with "you'll never walk alone", why can't we get a good tune to rock out before during or after a game?
I vote for Love Can Rock You. - 2/22/2008 7:41 PM

Just got back from the a full day at the Emergency Room. Not looking for pity. Just thought about the Pens and my fellow cbloggers all day since the Ms. and I were planning on heading down for the weekend again since we managed to find some tickets.
I had to get my knee drained and shot with a steriod. Other knee shot with drugs. Both ankles shot with drugs.
I literrally couldn't walk this morning and was confined to a wheelchair all day. The pain was so bad that I actually passed out at the VA hospital. I saw my entire weekend in the Burgh flushing down the drain. It sucked hard core. But things could always be worse.
Luckily, my Dr. is the man (even if he is a Sabres fan) and took care of me so I can walk again.
He asked what I was going to do this weekend since my plans had just been shot. (no pun intended)
It's times like this when you know you're going to be uncomfortable, and you know it's going to be hard to walk in the hills of Pittsburgh...
But when you feel like your team needs you screaming "Let's Go Pens" until your lungs explode, that you have to step back and ask yourself...
What I'm trying to get at here (if anyone is still reading this), is that if I had tickets for a Stillers game, or a Bucs game, or even for last years Pens... I probably wouldn't go. I'd listen to my Dr.'s and take it easy.
But I LOVE this team. I love the Igloo. And I love the fans.
Nothing is stopping me from going to the games this weekend.
So if you see some 30-year-old douchebag in a Lemieux jersey gimping around Pittsburgh with an "old man's" cane... say "Hello!"
It's More Than Just A Game
I'll see you at the Souper Bowl on Sunday if you're there. I won't be drinking (see above!!) But a handshake is in order.

WILSMITH - I think we've had this discussion before. Fans of pro sports in the US by and large just aren't that creative. And yes, the wave doesn't belong in hockey.
Dead-on about Steeler crowds. Other than screaming obscenities in their drunkenness, the monotonous "Here We Go, Steelers, Here We Go" chants and the crowd going nuts in the second half while they play "Renegade" (and if fans going nuts for a stupid Styx song isn't a perfect representation of a fanbase stuck in another era, I don't know what is), Steelers games are nothing to sneeze at.
I'll give Pirates fans this much...a couple of years ago, there was a group of kids who formed an Oliver Perez cheering section. They showed up in sombreros whenever he pitched and even had a goofy song and dance they did. It was hysterical.
I've heard Madden talk about this stuff on the radio - how relatively lame fans are of pro sports in America. We cheer mostly when prompted by the jumbotron. It's mostly generic stuff. No songs like they have in Euro soccer...no player-specific chants.
A bunch of us up in F1 started really railing on Biron and Downie in the last Flyers game and we at least got some of the F-balcony to do a "Seive" chant. I love what Pitt hoops fans do when an opposing player gets in foul trouble or fouls out - they yell, "LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT" as he walks to the bench. When he sits down, they yell "SIT DOWN!"
Can't we do something like that when an opposing player heads to the box or gets ejected?
One thing I love about junior hockey crowds is that they bring these long plastic horns and blast those during the games...it can get very loud at junior games. I don't know if the Pens allow those or not, but that would be great.
We need to come up with some ideas here. I know there are some good college hockey ones out there...maybe start with some of those and put our own spin on them. - 2/22/2008 8:37 PM

BNG66: Yeah. I'll be there. For sure. That's commitment, my friend. What an effort.
@ Wilsmith: I would love more than anything to see that kind of atmosphere at the Igloo. My only admissions to your post:
1) Once again, The Igloo is the place to be because the team is cool again. I don't know about any other cities, but that's how the Burgh is. So, you get alot people that could give a shit less about the actual game going on, but they can tell everyone they know the day of and after the game, that they were at the Pens' game and their friends, co-workers, etc, can look at them with envy and awe. Of course, not everyone new to the game is like that. I have two such friends that read this blog like the Bible and this is their first FULL season into the game. (Then they moved to Cali and have to watch DVR games. Dopes.) What i'm trying to say is that, there's alot of that arena that is filled with people casually watching the game; and talking about God only knows what; and giving half a shit about the game at hand. I don't know how many Cbloggers have season tickets, in any form, but i would bet that those who do not would make for a much better hockey crowd and arena atmosphere than those who actually show up. Its a double edged sword.
2) That being said, I go to around 20 games a year. I tend to be vocal and boisterous. But, not for the whole game. That takes a LOT of energy, and more to the point, I like to watch the game. I get into watching the game to the point where i can't eat nachos because i feel like i am missing something. I am sure there are Cbloggers that can understand that. I know that if i am cheering, going nuts, etc., i don't watch as closely because i am putting more effort into cheering than paying attention. I don't see the play develop or see the things that happen after the play is over and the puck has moved up ice. Once again, i feel i am not giving my full attention to the game unless i am dead set on it, giving it my undivided attention. Oddly enough, i also cannot talk on the phone and watch TV or any combination of TV, Phone and Al Gore.
I must repeat: I would love that kind of atmosphere, where at stoppages and the like, the crowd goes crazy and not because nobody can stand the KISS morning show or because someone is playing Plinko(no offense Randall) or because Mark Madden is giving away prizes to rich people. I want the crowd to go nuts because it IS nuts, like its the Oakland friggin' Zoo. For the most part, our fans know when to cheer and what to cheer for, but the energy level could be a little better.

blackngold66, as a physical therapist assistant student, I gotta say watch out getting around in the slush, take it easy with the walking, and become friends with icing the joints. And elevate the limbs to keep swelling down. Other than that, have a great weekend friend. Your dedication is admirable.
Stoosh and wilsmith, turning the Igloo into a madhouse is truly going to be a grassroots campaign. All of yinz that bought Pensblog T-shirts are getting the word out about this place when u wear them out. I know i'm telling every person in my classes that are Pens fans about this blog, and just from the new faces since the summer, word is getting out. I think the key to getting people to participate is to avoid being obnoxious. That just turns people off (see Steeler games). As we get closer to the playoffs, I'm sure we'll see that place turn into something special. - 2/22/2008 8:54 PM

Yeah stoosh, I remember this talk earlier on, was it in the summer or during the season? I can't remember.
Either way, we just need to get people yelling certain things at certain times, then suddenly there's noise all game long. Game events, not the -tron, should trigger the fans.
I wish I could get to more games, but I live almost 2 hours away and getting tickets only happens when a friend offers up their seasons for a game. - 2/22/2008 11:02 PM

bng66, how could you do steroids? One day you're mentioning it on c-blog, next thing you know you'll be in front of congress explaining how it was recommended by an online doctor. I kid, I kid.
the monotonous "Here We Go, Steelers, Here We Go" chants and the crowd going nuts in the second half while they play "Renegade" (and if fans going nuts for a stupid Styx song isn't a perfect representation of a fanbase stuck in another era, I don't know what is), Steelers games are nothing to sneeze at.
Fucking spot on. Don't get me wrong, I shut it down on Sundays if there's a Steelers game on and I make it known that I don't want to be bothered, but I never understood the hype with that mediocre Styx song. But if you wanna talk monotone chants, let's talk about that stupid, stupid "Here we go" song that gets revised every year. A friend of mine, a fellow c-blog reader, dropped the banhammer on that song for one year. Result? Pittsburgh won SB XL. That song hasn't been played since. - 2/22/2008 11:18 PM

it might even be worth announcing a game coming up that every cblogger should try to make it to. then have specific prompts in the game to try to get as many people doing a chant as possible. maybe it will take... worth a shot at least with the playoff hunt coming up

grassroots, gentlemen, is exactly the way to go to get a crowd going. you need to get a small rowdy group of people together and let things grow from them. like have everyone wear malkamania shirts to a game, or everyone make the same sign.
we need something like stoosh said about that group in F1, but we need something coordinated. obviously don't have time to figure something out for tomorrow but we still got games left, and of course the playoffs :)
maybe a pow-wow at milanos or souper bowl before a game is in order?

@Everone - Souper Bowl before both games this weekend. You don't have to drink (I won't be) but stop in and we'll meet and greet before the games.
Stokes and I will be there before Sunday's games and we're complete strangers so why not, eh? Show a little cblog/pensblog love. We're all in this together. Playoffish hockey starts now.
I'll probably post this again before the Ms. and I make our trek tomorrow morning. Let me know where yinz are sitting and if you want us to stop by to say hello (and vice versa)
I hope to meet a few of you (if possible). Like I said, look for the young guy with the old man's cane. I always have my yellow Pens hat on.
Sorrytorambleagainblog, but I'm just excited to be walking and to be catching The Penginz again in your wonderful city. Don't take the Pens for granted. You don't know how lucky most of you are to get them on FSN and to have them so close.
Also, don't take ThePensblog and Cblog for granted. It's actually one of the few places on the net in which I feel like people with the same interests can get together and connect with minimal interruption from outsiders. I like how we all protect each other here, and how we respectively call each other out when one of us is being an ass. (Or taking up all of cblog with sentimental crap like myself!! lol!)

Hip - working on it. I was diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism back in Zeptember or Rocktober. Have had polyarticular topheceaus gout for who knows how long (I just turned 30 btw, so too young for this shit, ya know?!)
Had CT surgery to remove a thymic mass in December. The "extra" parathyroid tumor was located between the heart and lungs. Painintheassblog.
Calcium levels dropped drastically overnight.
Hopefully over time and with the uric acid meds it'll calm down.
I don't like taking chronic steriods. I've only been doing so for the past 2+ months so I hope it doesn't continue for years. But with my strange and unique form of arthritis, I may have this forever.
My diet and determination are strict though. So I'll always come through.
Thanks for the well-wishes. Let me know when you get a recidency! :-)

Don't know what you're studying exacly, but I'm sure you'd get a kick out of it.

Event Date/Time | Feb 23, 2013 to Mar 17, 2013
Description |
In the madcap comedy tradition of Lend me a Tenor, the hilarious Moon Over Buffalo centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950's. At the moment, they're playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in rep in Buffalo, New York with five actors. On the brink of a disastrous split-up caused by George's dalliance with a young ingénue, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee, and if he likes what he sees, he might cast them in his movie remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Unfortunately for George and Charlotte, everything that could go wrong does go wrong, abetted by a visit from their daughter's clueless fiancé and hilarious uncertainty about which play they're actually performing, caused by Charlotte's deaf old stage-manager mother who hates every bone in George's body. Ludwig stuffs Moon Over Buffalo with comic invention, running gags and a neat sense of absurdity. Fr. & Sat. at 8:00 pm, Sun. at 4:00 pm. |

Daddy's Blog - Words from the Heart of Max's Dad November 21, 2008: My Hero
I remember receiving a call back on June 18th of 2005, that a childhood friend of mine by the name of Dean Clarizio lost his battle with stomach cancer. He was a warrior and fighter to the end. He and I had lost touch over the years, yet that doesn't change anything. He did not deserve to die. Does anyone? He was a son, a brother and a friend. If you go to his website www.dmcff.com you will see how brave he was and how to this day he will always be thought of as a hero. I remember his wake. I remember saying goodbye and looking at him resting so peacefully. I was sad, and confused. At that time Cancer was so foreign to me. At that point in my life, I was 34 years old, had a beautiful two year old son named Max, an amazing wife , Annemarie who was about to give birth to our second son to be named Alexander. Alexander was born on June 30, 2005. It never occurred to me then, that in two years time, from the day Dean lost his battle to cancer, we were going to begin ours...... In life we all have heroes. Some are make believe and some are as real as the day is long. Heroes do exist, and they do walk amongst us, sometimes we just need to be reminded as to who they are. In the first year of Max's diagnosis, it became clear that my youngest son, Alexander who was only two at the time, lived with his true hero- his big brother Max. And so I wrote a song called "My Hero". I just posted it on www.Myspace.com/davidplotkin. It is one of my favorites. It will be posted until Sunday night and then it will be removed until the album release. "Be a hero to someone today and make a difference in their life" Have a great weekend- Regards, David

I think I may be the only left from this list #... but I did get a recent call from a new investigator going over all of my paper work.. so hopefully September I will get called
How many people are in this last EMT academy and when is graduation?
Does anyone know when I join FDNY EMS how long I must be EMS until I am able to be promoted? What if im not eligible to be promoted when the test date in announced but I will be eligible by the time of hire to firefighter? Any advice on this?
I figure I can get hired by FDNY-EMS by the end of 2014-- Do you think I can take the promotion test right after im hired??
12 months on EMS before being able to promote. Have to have 12 months on by the time of app closing date not hire date. Promotion exam used to be every 2 years currently every 4 that may change last I heard. The hiring process for FDNY is a very long process I would say appx. a year to a year and a half.
This is almost entirely incorrect. It has been stated correctly in other places. The day you become a civil service EMT or paramedic you can take the exam. You must have completed your probationary period in EMS and served a minimum of 2 years.

When it comes to NASCAR movies, realism rules
Updated: August 21, 2006, 3:14 PM ET
By K. Lee Davis | ESPN.com
"Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" hits theaters Friday, making it the latest in a pantheon of great NASCAR movies.
Well, there's really only one great NASCAR movie, but there are nine others worthy of a rental (if you can find them), so Ricky Bobby has to go a long way to make this race.
Sports movies in general are a minefield of clichés, bad scripts, inaccurate playing dynamics and near-constant waist-up nudity. That is when they are at their best. At their worst, ...

If we BUY so much from other countries why let them import their goods to our country while charging no tarrifs while they charge us up the ass to import to their country. Let them go elsewhere if they choose. With America still an industrial power do you believe that we would not be able to sustain ourselves producing in America and buying American? The reason that we buy so much out of country is because it is so much cheaper. Now looking from their eyes (the forigein countrys) why would their people buy our stuff when they have slapped a huge tax on it and something that might cost $20,000 in America will now cost them $65,000 because of the crazy tarrifs they impose. So obviously we are going to sell our imports MUCH LESS in other countries. Put those crazy tarrifs on them and see how much of their inferior qualitie products we will buy at an inflated price of say 300%. We could easily sustain ourselves. That would create industries and jobs if we were to do so. Something that our country needs..........Rockin' |

However you're making up numbers with idealology that isn't so easy to work. Maybe the US can try and sustain itself, but it is the biggest oil user in the world. I mean literally eating up other countries by many times. You can't sustain that from your own sources. You spend 9 times more on your army compared to any other country, I think even more than most of tue world put together. You have spent like 2 trillion in iraq and Afghanistan. The problem is not increasing taxes to others, because you won't have any business. Why do you think the US has accused China of keeping the value of it's money so low? So that China gets business from the world because it's so cheap to get their products and use their labour. The cheaper your goods, the more people who buy from you. Why do you think places with high exchange rates struggle to export but can import? The problem is that the US spends too much and uses too much. Last edited by PandaKilla; 02-11-2011 at 07:29 AM. |

While the price of rice in Tamil Nadu is unlikely to fall in the near future, its upward march may be halted if rains were to lash the peninsula within the next three weeks.
M. Chinnasamy, State general secretary of the Federation of Rice Mills Owners' Associations and Rice Merchants' Associations, points out that Tamil Nadu used to be a deficit State, to the extent of 30 per cent, "even at the best of times with bountiful monsoon and excellent yields in the delta and other river basins such as the Tamiraparani".
This year it will be a daunting task for anyone to keep the prices under check, he says, pointing out that the price of paddy from Karnataka, one of the major suppliers to Tamil Nadu, has shot up from Rs.15 to Rs.22 per kg. A 60 kg bag of paddy works out to Rs.1,320 and, when converted into rice, a 75 kg bag will cost Rs.2,800-2,900 even in wholesale.
G. Sriraman, Tiruchi district vice-president of the Rice Mill Owners' Association, says the price of coarse varieties of paddy used to be around Rs.600 a bag and that of finer varieties, Rs.750.
"Now that the government itself has fixed procurement price of Rs.750 per bag, we will be able to procure finer varieties only at Rs.1,200 a bag. Karnataka used to provide 200 lorries to 400 lorry loads of paddy (15,000 tonnes to 18,000 tonnes) a day. This year, the inflow from that State has tapered off. Andhra Pradesh, which used to dispatch at least 150 to 200 lorries to Chennai, does not send even a handful now."
Puliyur Nagarajan, vice-president of the Tiruchi District Civil Supplies Hulling Agents Association, points out that merchants in Tamil Nadu are in no position to fix the price of rice because it is the Bangalore market which controls it.
"Apart from producing finer varieties, the Karnataka merchants, especially those from Tumkur, procure substantially from Tamil Nadu, hull the same and send it back to Tamil Nadu. This year we do not have adequate stocks," he laments. The impact of the loss of kuruvai is rarely felt in the open market, they say, as what is procured then is only the second quality and rarely the finer varieties. But, the loss of cultivation during the summer season, due to poor storage in tanks and also power cut, has added to the woes.
Mr. Chinnasamy is certain that the prices will not fall. However, they might stabilise by January if the samba harvest is good. Besides, by that time, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka arrivals would have started. However, Mr. Sriraman says most of the merchants are on the horns of a dilemma whether to go in for substantial purchase paying higher prices.

Egypt Consumer Electronics Report Q1 2013
- Language: English
- Published: February 2013
- Region: Egypt
BMI projects Egypt's consumer electronics spending will grow by about 11% in US dollar terms in 2012 to US$16.7bn. Spending on consumer electronics has remained a relative bright spot, despite the relatively weak employment backdrop. Strong remittances from Egyptians working in Saudi Arabia have helped to boost household spending but with a weak employment backdrop we stress that it will take some time before the economy is able to return to pre-crisis rates of growth. Egypt is still expected to be one of the higher-growth consumer markets in the region over the next few years, although several constraints, including low disposable incomes, economic disparities, low computer literacy and channel inefficiencies, could prevent the market from fulfilling its potential. Key factors behind the forecast growth in Egypt's consumer electronics sales include the emergence of a more affluent middle class and the growing acceptance of modern retail concepts.
Headline Expenditure Projections:
Computer hardware sales: US$956mnn in 2011 to US$1.0bn in 2012, +13% in US dollar terms.
Forecast in US dollar terms upwardly revised due to analyst modification and computer penetration

A noted scholar at Harvard on African-American culture that recently got called out hard for trying to stage a racial oppression incident after being asked for ID in his own home by an officer responding to a 911 burglary call. Instead of just showing his ID, being respectful, and moving on as most reasonable people would, he assumed that the officer's default setting was "racist," and proceeded to throw a temper tantrum in public that eventually led to his arrest. He has radical associations with black militants and Marxists and has made many racially inflammatory statements over the years. He also is a personal friend of Barack Obama and held a fundraiser for him.

A ménage à trois (French for "household of three") is a domestic arrangement in which three people having romantic and/or sexual relations with each other occupy the same household.
It is a form of polyamory.
Historical instances[edit]
History has a number of examples of ménages à trois relationships. Sir William Hamilton (British ambassador to Naples), his wife Emma Hamilton, and her lover, the naval hero Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson, were in a ménage à trois from 1799 until Nelson's death in 1805.[1] The German intellectual Dorothea von Rodde-Schlözer, her husband Mattheus Rodde and the French philosopher Charles de Villers also had a ménage à trois from 1794 until her husband's death in 1810.[2] As did the writer Aldous Huxley and his first wife Maria, with Mary Hutchinson a friend of Clive Bell.[3] The author E. Nesbit lived with her husband Hubert Bland and his mistress Alice Hoatson, and raised their children as her own.[4] The actress Hattie Jacques lived with her husband John Le Mesurier and her lover John Schofield.[5]
There is speculation that, in 1547–48, Queen Catherine Parr, widow of Henry VIII, and her fourth husband Thomas Seymour were involved in a ménage with the future Queen Elizabeth. This is probably exaggerated, although there were well attested episodes of sexually charged horseplay involving the three.[6][7] The Russian and Soviet poet Vladimir Mayakovsky lived with Lilya Brik, who was considered his muse, and her husband Osip Brik, an avant garde writer and critic.[8][9]
In 1913 the well-known psychoanalyst Carl Jung began a relationship with a young patient, Toni Wolff, which lasted for some decades. Deirdre Bair, in her biography of Carl Jung,[10] describes his wife Emma Jung as bearing up nobly as her husband insisted that Toni Wolff become part of their household, saying that Wolff was "his other wife". Erwin Schrödinger, his wife Annemarie Bertel and his mistress Hilde March had a ménage à trois.[11]

Aldous was shy and impractical, not the sort of man who could manage adultery without help from his wife. The correspondence with Mary Hutchinson makes clear that Maria was not merely complicit but actively 'omnifutuent', to borrow her husband's splendid word for bisexuality.

Direct Digital Synthesis oscillator
One thing I havent got yet is an audio oscillator - it's a "one of these days" projects. Anyway, it seems to me that if we restrict ourselves to audio frequencies then a DDS oscillator might not be too hard for a diy project.
For those who have not come across this technique, imagine you have a singe sinewave cycle mapped into an eprom that is 65536 addresses long. If you step through these addesses one at a time and pump out the data into an A/D then you get a good sinewave. The faster you clock through the eprom the higher the frequency of the sinewave. A bit of low pass filtering and you are there. Now think of it this way instead . If you instead have a =fixed= clock frequency of 65536 Hz then you get a sinewave of 1Hz. Now change things so you step through every *second* eprom address - you get right through the addresses in half the time so you get 2x the frequency sinewave. Every 3rd address = 3x the frequency etc. If the amount of addresses stepped through does not exactly divide into 65536 it doesn't matter. It just rolls over to a number greater than zero and then steps through a different set of equally spaced addresses. Eventually it will repeat itself. One of the really good things about this method is you use enough high pass filtering for the highest frequency you are going to use. As you go lower in frequency the waveform doesn't deteriorate because the sampling *rate* remains the same but as the output frequency is lower it means there is more detail put into the waveform. Less filtering needed anyway. If the sampling rate is far enough above the output frequency, you will get a flat frequency response. Crystal locked discrete steps too, if you want. Have to think some more about this.

Graham, there are several interesting app notes on this for the Analog Devices integrated DDS signal generators, with on-chip synchronous DACs IIRC. I once had a similar idea, using a microcontroller and a DDS chip and very little more, OK a display and some rotary encoders to set freq etc.
Certainly doable, but I never found the time to put it in practice. Jan Didden. |

Hi Graham
You would not even need to do this in hardware at audio frequencies. Nowadays even PC processors have enough power to do this. But IF you want dedicated hardware you could use a DSP to generate the waveform, using a sinewave-approximation algorithm. If the amplitude resolution doesn't have to be too high then there are even chips available that include all the main blocks needed: Accumulator, wavetable and D/A (keywords: NCO - "numerical controlled oscillator" or DDS - "direct digital synthesis") If you need a quick-and-dirty solution you can use the following ( in German only unfortunately): http://www.audio-software.de/downloads.html There was also a free generator software by Neutrik but I have to find that one again. I am not sure though if that could directly output audio via soundcard or if you'd have to burn it on CD. Regards Charles |

Following one of the best episodes in series history, Fringe fans are both excited and afraid to look ahead to 2011.
The former emotion stems from Olivia's return home and what this means for upcoming storylines; the latter is a result of Fox moving the drama to Fridays (starting January 28), a decision that rarely bodes well for a show's future.
In a new interview with TV Addict, producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman touched on both these topics.
Wyman, on moving to Fridays: We have a tremendous amount of support from FOX...aA lot of time shows that move to this time slot don't last, but I think that has more to do with the quality of the television show and how it's doing than it is a market... We're going in there with 100% confidence.
Pinker, on storylines in 2011: The rest of the [season] will be the consequences and the fall out of what happened both emotionally and plot wise for all our characters. As we've said from the beginning, we're committed to telling stories Over There and the first half of the season will dramatically change the conditions Over There. Once Olivia returns to our side, the storytelling's not just going to be contained on our side.Wyman, on revealing The Machine: We don't want to drive things out and make people frustrated with what that machine is and what it means to the series and the characters themselves. By the end of the session, you're going to fully understand what that machine is and what it's purpose is. What it's for. Meaning for this universe and that universe and what it means to our characters. We definitely are going to have some sort of resolution.

Tonight Eddie heads west to meet Sean and Siobhan O'Grady in Louisburgh, Co Mayo. Sean tends shellfish on the seashore but his oyster farm isn't making enough to keep the family afloat.
Siobhan's income had been tiding them over but now she's taken redundancy and gone back to college in Dublin, leaving Sean to deal with the mortgage and bills for the next two years! Will Sean take Eddie's advice and become a landlubber with a steady income? Or will his passion for oyster farming, as opposed to financial planning, win the day?

You could do that. The way I've done is via puppet and cfengine. Also via func and ansible. Ducks for mentioning python apps on a perl pub These methods require some work to get setup. SSL or SSH if you're the paranoid type (want to sleep soundly through the night). Create your rpm and then deploy it:

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 12/13/12 -- Oil & Gas stocks have struggled in 2012 as high production rates and low demand have kept a lid on oil prices. The SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (XOP) has gained just 3 percent year-to-date. The Paragon Report examines investing opportunities in the Oil & Gas Industry and provides equity research on Halcon Resources Corp. (NYSE: HK) and Magnum Hunter Resources Corp. (NYSE: MHR).
Access to the full company reports can be found at:
The American Petroleum Institute last month reported U.S. oil demand in October fell to 18.4 million barrels a day, which was the lowest October demand seen in 17 years. During the first 10 months of the year was 2.1 percent below the comparable period in 2011. Crude production in October averaged 6.652 million barrels a day, the highest in October since 1994.
"For many months, we've seen variations on the same theme: weak demand versus a year ago and some of the weaker demand numbers over the past decade," said John Felmy, API chief economist. "The simple fact is that unemployment remains high and economic growth has been extremely modest. Petroleum demand is reflecting that."
Paragon Report releases regular market updates on the Oil & Gas Industry so investors can stay ahead of the crowd and make the best investment decisions to maximize their returns.

Halcón Resources Corporation is an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, production, exploration and development of onshore oil and natural gas properties in the United States. The company has recently closed the previously announced acquisition of Williston Basin Assets from Petro-Hunt, L.L.C.
Magnum Hunter Resources is presently active in five of the most prolific unconventional shale resource plays in North America, namely the Marcellus Shale, Utica Shale, Eagle Ford Shale, Pearsall Shale and Williston Basin/Bakken Shale. The company last month announced a definitive purchase agreement to acquire existing wells and approximately 20,000 net Williston Basin lease acres from Samson Resources for $30 million in cash.
